I Realize That I

[Let It Be]

I realize that it does take a lot out of me, like yesterday when I went to see the doctor. I can see how for that short amount of time, I had to let go, and allow the doctor to do his thing.

I have just lost myself so much over these years with work, family, friends, etc. that when I take these baby steps, I need some downtime to recover. I realize this time of the year is hard on me anyway but I'm better than I was.

I realise that I just have to be honest.

I realise I can live through these feelings and emotions.

I realized that I can slow down some of the anxiety by breathing into my moment. I felt calmer during a sever vertigo incident and did not panic over the what if's. I accepted I could not change the situation but I could change how I experienced it.

I have realized how I become easy prey for a predator. Whenever I am lonely, needy, in shock over a great loss and feeling vulnerable I am a walking target so I will be much more careful and cautious with people in the future.

@gizmo ...that may be true for all of us. However, you took a risk and opened up. That was a good thing.
We have little control over the choices other people make but we do have choices in recognizing and protecting ourselves from unsafe people. May you find in the future, safe friends that are worthy of you and your heart.

I realize that medicine is now a necessity in my life. YUCK!

 

[Let It Be]

I realize that I am and will be learning a lot about myself through this self-care process.

It just brings up a lot for me in being "heard" and to know that I'm worth what I need to do in order to take care care of me.

I realize that I need to stay in the "now" as I keep taking these steps. Just not used to it.

... I am not going to be able to send any more Christmas cards out because I only have 2 stamps left and also I am sick and don't want to send this cold to anyone! SO I guess I'll be calling folks instead, if they send me a card. I am staying in the house until I am no longer contagious.

I realise I am full of self hatred.

I realize that I need some bigger task to focus and that I get lost when I don't have somtehing like this. I'm really glad that I have to do the research for my bachelor thesis now. My brain always wants food and it's so hard to get enough...stupid gifted brain, never gives me a rest.

I realise that I have a lot of distorted cognitions.

I realize that I just woke up and with this cold, will not be able to do all the things I usually do today (Saturday).
